FACTOR ABOUT ABOUT EAGLES

Eagles typically live between 20-30 years in the wild. As apex predators, they are relatively long-lived compared to many other birds
. The oldest wild eagle on record is about 32 years of age. It can live up to 70 years



                    EAGLE EYE CAPACITY
An eagle in flight can reputedly sight a rabbit two miles away. Talon–eye coordination is a hunting imperative. From its perch at the top of trees, the eagle can dive at speeds of 125–200 miles per hour (201–322 km/h) to catch its prey by its talons.

How does a eagle soar?

Eagles (and most large birds) fly by soaring; it's much more energy efficient than flapping their wings. We do use the technique for our own flights. The reason eagles and other soaring birds do this rather than flap is that they generally hunt from the air and so spend a lot of time waiting for prey.

Where the eagles live?

Eagles live on all continents except Antarctica, and are usually found living in tall trees near a body of water. Discover how bald eagles are able to catch their prey in the water with insight from a science teacher in this free video on animal habitats.

Where eagle is found?

Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles.
